Meckelâs diverticulum is the most common problem that occurs in the digestive system. This condition happens when a pouch of tissue forms on the wall of the lower part of your small intestine (also known as your bowel). It is a congenital defect, meaning that you are born with it. Meckelâs diverticulum is a rather common condition, occurring in 1 out of every 50 people. However, it is often difficult to diagnose. Some people with Meckelâs diverticulum never have any symptoms.
